Not at all. Do your homework guys. By voting yes it acknowledges the war and it's limited funding for bombing, ground troops, aid to the rebels ect. By voting no the president still has no authorization from congress it was a trick by the president to get congress to approve the war. It has already been explained days ago.
Prohibits, unless otherwise specifically authorized by law, funds appropriated or otherwise available to the Department of Defense (DOD) from being obligated or expended for U.S. Armed Forces in support of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization Operation Unified Protector with respect to Libya, except for: (1) search and rescue; (2) intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance; (3) aerial refueling; and (4) operational planning.

We are so screwed! We cannot spell a two letter word? We cannot spell a two letter word? Not only that, we will then admit our stupidity and post the mis-spelled two letter word on the internet so all the world can see how stupid we really are. God help us...we cannot spell a two letter word.

Sounds like yet another case of a politician saying one thing to fire up his base, and doing something completely different when it comes time for action.
Typical.
